A Rogerian Argument

With more and more students taking online courses, both the students and the colleges benefit. For example students who take online courses can do so at home without worrying about dorm costs or commuting cost like gas money. In addition, online courses are more flexible to both teachers and students allowing them both to better organize their schedules and allows teachers to teach large amounts of students at the same time. However, online education does have some drawbacks. For instance, online classes lack the face to face interaction that regular classes have and this limits the ways a teacher can educate a student. These problems could be easily solved. First, by incorporating a system of online tutors who work for the school system that can help students through video chat at any time for those that are struggling. Second, teachers can set aside times where students who have not been able to attend class or turn in work due to situations outside their control like injures and power outages can turn in their missing work and receive a summary of what the missed in class that day. If these problems are addressed, both students and colleges would benefit because people who have a internet connection but no way to get to school will be able to attend class and the more people taking classes the more money colleges will make.
